THE COAL TAR SUGAR.

Saccharine, the new sweet extract from
coal tar, seems destined to have boom be-
fore long if some reports which come from
the other side of the Atlantic can be relied
on. 1t is said that preparations have been
made there on the most elaborate and ex-
pensive scale to begin supplying the Ameri-
can market with the new product.
Saccharine is certainly wonderful sub
stance. 1t is 23O times sweeter than the
sweetest cane sugar. It differs from all 9th
er known sugars in not being susceptible to
fermentation. On the contrary it is power
fully preservative. Proof of this was recent
Iy shown in Europe. There were strawber-
ries, for instance, put up over a year ago,
which had never been cooked and which pre-
served absolutely their flavor of the garden.
The jam had been boiled, bat with the non
fermenting saccharine there was no boiling
away, no need of skimming, with which Or
dinary sugar involves loss of 10 per cent.
Another novel and interesting quality of this
new product is that it is strictly anti-diabet-
ic. It passes through the system absolutely
untouched. German physicians are making
much of this phase of the discovery, and
0OSA OSSNSAAoAAON
pendent factory for the manufacture of anti
diabetic biscuits for the use of the large
class of patients to whom all sweetening has
heretofore been forbidden.
A big factory, with the best appliances,
and a capital of 5000, 900, has been started in
Madgeburg, Germany, to manufacture the
new sweet. A London correspondent of
Light Heat and Power saws that "of course
the principal idea of the Introduction of sac
charine, SO far as Americas sugar trade goes,
is that by combination with glucose a sugar
can be made which will drive cane sugar to
the wall" He was shown sample of sugar
composed of two parts saccharine and 1000
parts sugar which seemed to sight and taste
to be good enough sugar. The correspond
ent goes on to speculate upon the new indus
try and its effects as follows: eff combina-
ton with saccharine can make harmless,
non -fermenting, non-crystallizing sugar out
of glucose at cost enabling it to compete
with, not to say drive out, cane sugar, then
clearly tremendous and commercial and
sectional revolution will be at hand. Buffalo,
Peoria and other centers of the glucose in
dustry will have the louisiana and West
Indian trade and the great refining works of
New York and California at their mercy.
This seems among the possibilities, to state
the case mildly, and it is surely worth talk
ing about"
If half the big promises made for coal tar
sugar ale fulfilled great change is certainly
at hand. 1t may yet be sweeter to live than
it has been.

Professor Thomas Davidson makes, in the
| Forum, an answer to some of the objections
| which have been made against the introduc-
| tion of manual training in the public schools.
| To the plea that the State cannot with justice
be asked to instruct children in the rudiments
of arts or trades, he replies that eff the State
is to educate at all, it must not give to any
the superfuous while any lack the necessary"
He takes the position that emo State or com
nunity has a moral right to pay money for
the higher branches of education, such as
are taught in our high schools and colleges,
while any portion of the population requir-
ing manual training is deprived of it," This
is forcible way of putting it, and there are
many who will agree with the professor.
The results of an interesting scientific in
vestigation have recently been published in
parliamentary blue book in England. Last
September a party of excursionists went on
steamer from Glasgow to witness the effect
of certain large blasting operations which
were to take place on Loeb Fyne. In the
blast six and one half tons of gunpowder
were exploded, and after it was over the e1-
cursionists went on shore to look at the effect
of the shock. In a short time many of them
were seized with faintness, six of them died
almost Immediately, one died shortly after
ward, and five were made very sick, but
eventually recovered. The results of the
scientific inquest which followed this sad
affair brought out the fact that the mischief
was probably due to carbonio oxide, of
which it was calculated 469 pounds could be
generated by an explosion of the quantity of
gunpowder named above, amount which,
at the ordinary temperature and pressure,
would occupy space of 6,335 cubic feet.
This would be sufficient to vitiate 100 times
as many cubic feet of air.

to be that profits constitute that part of pro-

that the least capable employer can afford to

The German papers are complaining that
many German industries are seriously af-
fected by over-production. The disastrous
competition in the chemical trade is to be
followed by efforts to reduce production to
the level of the demand. Associations have
been formed to see what can be done in the
interest of the potash, saltpetre, soda, Prus-
sian blue and glauber salt industries. It
was stated that the production of soda alone
in Germany was 400, 900 hundred weight in
excess of the consumption.

FLED FROM SALT lAKE.
Story of Woman Who Says She Has
Run Away from Mormon Elder.

NEW YORK, June "a woman about 20
years old was accosted by policeman in the
Pennsylvania depot at Jersey City yesterday
afternoon, because she appeared to be in
mental distress. To a reporter she told the
following story: Her name was Eleanor
Pastor, and she had just arrived from Salt
Lake City. About month ago, she, in COM
pany with II other converts who had been
secured in Cornwall, England, were taken to
Salt Lake City by Elder Bascom. Bascom
already had three wives, the principal of
whom was one named Hannah, grey-haired
woman. When the Elder announced his in
tention of taking to wife Miss Pastor and
Miss Clegg, her companion, Hannah became
jealous and angry. Both the converts OBJ
jected to remaining in the Elders household,
and one night they tied together some cloth
ing and lowered themselves from window
of the house. They were discovered in an
alley near the Tabernacle by Elder Junius
T.. Wells, a Mormon, who, Miss Pastor says,
sides with the government He took the
two women to stable, and provided them
each with suit of male attire, in order to
facilitate their escape from the city. On the
following morning ne took them to the rail-
road station and put them on the train
While they were standing on the platform,
Wells if he had seen anything of the two
missing women, not recognizing them in
their new garb. On the train they related
their story to the women passengers, who
provided tnem with suitable clothing, while
the gentlemen made up purse for them: At
Omaha Miss Clegg left the train with lady
who had promised her a situation. Miss
Pastor is of bright intellect, and says she
had no idea until she reached Salt Lake City
that Bascom intended to marry her.

The Pine Tree Bear.

That there are yet plenty of bears in
Maine is proven by the fact that last sum-
mer more than six hundred were killed, and
the State paid out something like 5000 in
bounties. The State pays out S5 for the two
ears and nose Of bear, and this, added to
the sum of from $40 to $40. which the skins
are worth. makes the hunting of hears in
Maine something more than sport. In the
vicinity Of Greenville last year more than
SEQ were killed. In Washington, Penobscot,
Aroostook and Piscataquis counties there
are good many. Maine bears 20 into their
dens late in the fall, where they generally
stay until April. Their long winters sleep
